RIFFTRAX LIVE: BIRDEMIC
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OZOILGM....._new_dp_review
We were thinking the same thing as the end credits rolled, but my partner Flatrat said it first: "My god," he laughed, "it's worse than MANOS!"
BIRDEMIC has to be seen to be disbelieved. A no-budget, apocalyptic fantasy of birds going postal on humankind, it features hilariously bad special effects, endless driving and parking sequences, a dim-witted internet millionaire and his supermodel girlfriend (who spend a lot of their time hanging out in cheap restaurants at the local mall), interminable lectures on the evils of fossil fuels and global warming by characters who look and sound mentally ill, and a now-you-hear-it-now-you-don't soundtrack. The movie's an unintentional laugh riot on its own, but of course it's the riffing by Mike, Kevin, and Bill, firing on all cylinders in front of a Nashville audience, that lifts BIRDEMIC to the rank of a comedy masterpiece. What can I say? You'll never hear the words "solar panel" quite the same way again.
The feature is preceded by the short "Norman Checks In," in which our titular, hangdog hero continues to endure the indignities of life in the early 1970s.

You DO realize that's the job a lover, right??
Boyfriends are more of a "Can I just kill myself now?" kind of thing
